Police recovered a silver SUV from the Bristol, Conn., home of Aaron Hernandez's uncle that may be
connected to an unsolved double murder.

Investigators from the Boston Police
Department searched the Bristol home Friday and towed away a silver Toyota
4-Runner with Rhode Island plates that was parked in the garage, according to
multiple reports.

It is believed that the former New England
Patriots tight end could be connected to the unsolved crime.

Hernandez is currently in Bristol County Jail
for the June 17 murder of Odin Lloyd, a Dorchester man who dated the sister of
Hernandez's fiancé. The 27-year-old's knowledge of the Boston murders could be
connected to his death.

Police had been seeking a silver SUV with
Rhode Island license plates that was seen driving away from a drive-by shooting in Boston's
South End on July 16, 2012, where Daniel Abreu and Safiro Furtado were shot
dead.

The two men were leaving Cure, a Boston
nightclub, before they were gunned down. Another man was injured during the
incident.

Meanwhile, police continue to make progress in the Lloyd
case.

Ernest Wallace, who was
wanted for serving as an accessory after the fact in the shooting death of Lloyd,
turned himself into authorities Friday afternoon in Miramar, Fla., after seeing
his name in the news, according to Massachusetts State Police.

Police issued a regional alert asking for
help in locating Wallace and a rented Chrysler 300 he was driving late Thursday
night. The alert stated that the 41-year-old had ties to Connecticut,
Massachusetts, Georgia and Florida.

Court records for Wallace in those four
states show no major or violent crimes.

The car, which was
rented in Hernandez's name, was recovered after being spotted in the parking
lot of a Bristol apartment complex.

With 27-year-old
Bristol resident Carlos Ortiz also in custody, it is believed that all three
men connected to Lloyd's murder have been arrested.
